Chapter 2797 – Splitting the Sea
As soon as s.h.i.+ Feng finished speaking, the War Blood members spectating from a distance couldn’t help gaping in shock at the scene playing out before them, their minds refusing to accept this was true. Even Heaven’s Blade’s members felt as if they were dreaming when they saw this scene, having personally experienced the power of those crimson chains.
Those chains carried immense power; even a Mythic monster should be incapable of struggling free of them. Moreover, evading those chains was also impossible.
Nevertheless, the crimson chains Autumn Plant summoned actually failed to get within one meter of s.h.i.+ Feng!
Moreover, they hadn’t seen s.h.i.+ Feng make any movements. From their perspective, the chains seemed to be afraid of s.h.i.+ Feng and did not dare move closer to him.
Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
Autumn Plant was dumbfounded as he looked at the scene before him. In fact, compared to the surrounding spectators, he was even more confused by this situation. After all, as the summoner of these chains, he knew that he had not held back in the slightest.
There’s no way he can stop a Tier 4 Spell without using any Skill or Spell of his own! This is absolutely impossible! Glaring at s.h.i.+ Feng, Autumn Plant demanded, “What did you
do?!”
Had s.h.i.+ Feng used a Skill or Spell to stop his Spell, Autumn Plant would’ve found this situation reasonable. However, s.h.i.+ Feng clearly did not do anything. The man simply unleashed his Mana to the surroundings, yet that actually rendered the chains summoned by Blood-bound Lock incapable of getting close to him.
At this moment, let alone Autumn Plant, even Yu Luo, Lifeless Thorn, and Solitary Nine were surprised by this situation.
They knew that s.h.i.+ Feng was incredibly strong. After all, he had very nearly killed Lionheart in one move. However, they never thought that he could actually stop a Tier 4 Binding Spell just by unleas.h.i.+ng his Mana. This situation had thoroughly shattered their understanding of s.h.i.+ Feng “Can’t you see it very clearly?” Looking at Autumn Plant’s horrified expression, s.h.i.+ Feng said calmly, “As a Tier 4 Great Wizard, you should be well aware that a Spell’s performance is dependent on the difference between the quality of the Spell’s Mana and that of the target’s Mana. Do you think a fragile rope can restrain an elephant?”
After obtaining Level 1 World Authority, aside from a slight improvement in his affinity with and control of Mana, he had also gained a significant boost in his understanding of the operating principles of Mana. Hence, he was now capable of condensing Mana of much higher quality and in much greater quant.i.ty.
Now, the Mana he could conjure was at least 50% stronger than what he could with just a 110% Completion Rate Mana Body.
Thanks to this improvement, all Mana that entered his Mana Domain was subject to his control. Autumn Plant’s attempt to bind him with a Tier 4 Binding Spell that hadn’t even reached a 100% Completion Rate was a complete and utter joke.
Rather than relying on such a Spell, Autumn Plant would be more effective if he tried to attack s.h.i.+ Feng with his staff.
“What do you mean?” s.h.i.+ Feng’s words confused Autumn Plant.
A Spell’s performance was indeed dependent on the quality of its Mana and of its target’s Mana. However, he was currently a Tier 4 Great Wizard. The Spell he used was also at the Tier 4 standard. How could his Spell not have any effect against a player of the same tier?
“What do I mean?” s.h.i.+ Feng shook his head in disappointment. He had already given Autumn Plant a clear explanation, yet the latter still failed to understand the cause of his failure. “Alright, then. I’ll just let you feel it yourself!”
As soon as s.h.i.+ Feng finished speaking, a ripple of Mana spread out from his body. The s.p.a.ce within a 1,000-yard radius of s.h.i.+ Feng darkened. When looking at this darkened region from a distance, one would even see s.p.a.ce within this region warping. Caught within s.h.i.+ Feng’s Mana Domain, Autumn Plant suddenly felt his mind turning sluggish. He also felt as if his body had fallen into a mire, as the ambient Mana had undergone a complete change. At this point, the Mana around him couldn’t even be considered Mana. Unlike normal Mana, this Mana felt dark, murky, and silent. Surrounded by this Mana, Autumn Plant very nearly retched in disgust, his complexion turning incomparably pale.
“No! This is…impossible! How can you…have such Mana?!” When Autumn Plant looked at s.h.i.+ Feng now, his eyes were filled with fear and madness. He simply couldn’t fathom how there could be such a person in this world. Meanwhile, upon seeing Autumn Plant rambling on like a lunatic while looking at s.h.i.+ Feng, Ink Feather immediately contacted him.
“Autumn, what happened on your side?” Ink Feather stared at Autumn Plant’s crazed behavior in confusion. “Do you need our help?” Autumn Plant had clearly been normal just a second ago. However, as soon as the dark s.p.a.ce appeared, he began behaving abnormally.
“No! Run! Run quickly!” Autumn Plant urged frantically when he received Ink Feather’s call. “He’s not human! He’s not human at all!”
“Not human? What do you mean?” Ink Feather grew even more confused at Autumn Plant’s words.
“His Mana is too terrifying! We are absolutely no match for him!” Autumn Plant exclaimed with a horrified expression. “You need to escape quickly! Immediately notify the commander and have him contact Secret Hand! Only Secret Hand can go up against him!”
“Notify Secret Hand? Is there a need to go that far?”
At this point, Ink Feather suspected that something was wrong with Autumn Plant’s mental state. Their opponent was only a Tier 4 Sword Emperor. Even if s.h.i.+ Feng was indeed the first player to reach Tier 4, there shouldn’t be any need to seek help from the Secret Hand a.s.sociation, the largest NPC force based on Dragonheart Island. After all, War Blood still had plenty of trump cards in reserve. Even if they couldn’t get rid of s.h.i.+ Feng, s.h.i.+ Feng shouldn’t think of breaking out of the Sea Prison.
Hostile players caught inside the Sea Prison would have their Stamina and Concentration drained rapidly; even a Tier 4 player wouldn’t last more than ten minutes within it. And if a player’s Stamina and Concentration zeroed out, they wouldn’t be able to move their body at all. They might even die outright.
Hence, even if their team was no match for s.h.i.+ Feng in a frontal confrontation, they could still whittle him to death inside the Sea Prison.
When Ink Feather showed no intention of listening to his words, Autumn Plant felt like he was about to go crazy.
“No! Listen to me! You don’t know just how po -11
Before Autumn Plant could say anything more, s.h.i.+ Feng finally took action.
The Swordsman unsheathed the Abyssal Blade, raised the Magic Weapon slightly, and executed a vertical slash at the s.p.a.ce in front of him. First Sword, Lightshadow! Suddenly, an illusory greatsword several hundred meters long appeared in the sky and fell toward Autumn Plant, leaving a dark void that divided the world into two in its wake.
Before anyone could react, the Sea Prison trapping s.h.i.+ Feng’s group split in half, and a ma.s.sive void spanning over a thousand yards opened up in the ocean. Seawater then flooded into the dark void, creating spectacular waterfalls.
Surging waves carried the nearby s.h.i.+ps toward this spatial tear, and the s.h.i.+ps that fell into the void had their crews instantly vaporized.
The thousand-plus War Blood members maintaining the Sea Prison’s magic array spat out blood on the spot and fell into a mentally weakened state. It was evident that they had suffered a severe backlash from the barrier’s breaking
Meanwhile, a dark void had replaced the area Autumn Plant originally occupied. As for Autumn Plant himself, he was nowhere in sight.
